When you read the science on both sides, it’s uncertain whether global warming is a man-caused trend, because apparently the cold/warm cycles have been going on for a long time.
That does not negate the fact that we should try to reduce pollution and poisons in our environment and do all we can to preserve a clean Earth. But most people I know are too lazy or unconcerned to even do basic recycling.
And many people tend to have a reason why they don’t recycle because…overall they say, recycling is not cost effective or rather, it’s “expensive.”
In my town the garbage collection includes free reclying collection, but on my typical residential street, I would say only 3 people put out reclycing. And another example, there is a company in Boston that will pick up laser cartridges from offices, for example – free –and yet, people still throw the old ones in the garbage. Or batteries, or whatever.
A lot people like to talk about a “Green Earth” but their actions
show they could care less.
